At an Aug. 31, 2026 mid-year results briefing, China Merchants Bank president
Wang Xiaoqing said the bank will prioritize short‑term operations to stabilize
its development base, with a core objective of stabilizing net interest margin.
The bank will preserve its low‑cost funding advantage, steadily strengthen
asset‑side risk‑pricing, expand non‑interest income by unlocking subsidiaries’
operating potential, and capital pursue‑market opportunities by deepening wealth
management and financial‑markets businesses to lift segment contribution. It
will closely monitor early and directional signs of asset‑quality deterioration,
prioritizing prevention and resolution of risks in retail lending and vacant
property.
